Butter London Dodgy Barnett

Good morning!! So I didn't even realize I was on a search for the perfect silver holo until it occurred to me that Butter London's Dodgy Barnett, from their new fall/winter 2012 line, might be it. It's glossy, linear, and foolproof in application. And seriously, a gorgeous silver holo named after a bad hairdo? What's not to love?

Dodgy Barnett's linear holo is not super strong, but certainly not weak. It makes up for its strength in opacity and user friendliness. I applied my basecoat as usual, three coats of polish (two is fine, three makes it that much more dense), and a topcoat, which didn't dull the holo in any way. Dodgy Barnett is glossy without a topcoat, though, and doesn't become flat in the shade or indirect lighting. It doesn't pull, streak, or bald. It does give off beautiful, satisfying rainbows with minimal effort.

You know, I passed it up in the Ulta BL sale. I looked at it and some swatches ahead of time and it just didn't speak to me, but your pics have just changed my mind!! It's gorgeous!! Do I really need another silver holo??
